Gas_Up_Lets_Go is on a distinguished road
ACF50, everywhere. Then wipe the excess from the brake discs.

Come the spring, a good soaking with muckoff/techwash type of thing (which has a degreaser in it) wash it and ride away.

Me, I cover the bike from head to toe in ACF50, then ride through the winter. I top up the ACF with a soaking of F365 stuff once a week when its salty on the roads and give the Scotoiler some support with some cheap chain oil sprayed onto the chain once a week too.

I never wash the bike during the winter, just keep on chucking the F365 on, then give it a dammed good soak with Muckoff and a power wash in the spring - then it gets a service.

Others will have thier own methods, I use both of the above (one on the Ten the other on the XJR) and both bikes defy thier age and mileage in so far as thier conditions show.
